TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for seven years. I am certified to teach K-6, Middle Level (7-9) Language Arts, and Middle Level (7-9) History. I have spent the last four years teaching middle school, most recently teaching U.S. History.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My goal is to engage students from the moment they walk into my classroom until the moment they leave. History has always been one of my passions, and I believe if it is taught in the proper way, it will come to life for my students. I enjoyed inquiry based learning and a student centered classroom. I engage students in a variety of ways, but specifically aim to reach students using Gardeners Multiple Intelligences as my guide.
